There was no limit to innovation in cricket and James Harris of Glamorgan became the latest example of this. In the match against Kent (Kent), he played a sweep shot that is usually played with frontfoot, but Harris carried her on the backfoot. Not only the audience, the experts were also surprised to see this unique technique.
Now cricket is not just a straight drive and cover shot. Something is happening in the field, seeing that the eyes are torn. A similar view was seen in a county match between Glamorgan and Kent, where James Harris played a shot that rarely found in cricket books.
Actually, James Harris played the sweep shot, but it was fun when people saw that he did not have a frontfoot, but played that shot from the backfoot! That is, he adopted a completely different technique to sweep the ball towards the leg side. The pad was pulled forward but the front was not sent from the backfoot to the mid wicket.

This shot was so strange that the video has gone viral on social media and fans are asking “Is the sweep shot playing from the backfoot now in cricket?”
In this match, Glamorgan scored 549/9 in the first innings. Ben Keleveh scored an unbeaten century, Colin Ingram scored 70 runs and Sam Northeast also scored a useful innings. But this new experiment of James Harris was the most unique thing.
Even though Harris could not score much runs in this innings, his backfoot sweep will be remembered for a long time. Now it will be interesting to see if any other batsman adopts this untouched shot or it will be the signature move of Harris.
